Well, the alpha map was a 32 player rush map. Rush maps always involve smaller areas with one team trying to lay bombs, and the front advancing if they do.

If you don't want to play that sort of map you could easily filter for only 64 player conquest maps (control point), and get maps like the one in this video. As for server map rotation, that's set by whoever is running the server, but no one is going to switch between 32 and 64 player maps.
